Hi GerardM, It was a typo from my side when writing the implications. Where it says "must" it should have been "should" (corrected). The first sentence of the guidelines is correct and it reads: - Wikidata is a collection of sourced data, which means that most statements should indicate the data provenance.
The guidelines are suggestions we should strive for. They are not intended as strong rules, instead I see them as a commitment to aim for sourced data. There are already projects that are open to all kinds of data (dbpedia comes to mind), and I don't think it is a good idea to replicate what they do.
